After Spirit gets his second wind when the Colonel is attempting to break him, he breaks the girth/cinch strap by catching it on the fence. At one brief point, the pole of the fence actually appears to pass between Spirit and the girth of the saddle. See more...

At the close up of the American flag inside the fort it has many stars missing on the left side. [At the time that this movie was taking place there were stars missing if you are comparing it to today's flag because some states had not been made states yet.]
When the Colonel wants to shoot Little Creek and Spirit prevents it, you can easily notice that the Colonel's gun had already been shot before Spirit hit the Colonel - if he hadn't done that, Little Creek would've survived anyway. [The Colonel's horse actually shys away from Spirit before he hits. This action causes the Colonel's arm to move and the shot goes wild.]
In an early scene Spirit is seen chasing an eagle, however horses are herbivores(plant eaters)and would have no interest chasing meat. [Dogs can't eat metal or rubber but that doesn't stop them from chasing cars.]

When Spirit gets taken from his home there are two babies. As the movie goes, he is gone for a couple of seasons, because of the snow. When Spirit finally gets back home the two babies are still babies. [The babies don't grow older. Spirit travels to different places, like North for the snow. THAT is why they are still foals/colts.]
In the scene where Spirit is a foal and he is drinking the water, he is lapping it like a dog. Horses don't lap water, they drink it normally. [My horse laps up his water all the time. They do it when they are playing, or just to moisten their tongue on a hot day.]
All the horses have eyebrows in the movie, but real horses don't have eyebrows [This statement is true, but in the DVD commentary the filmmakers/animators admit to putting them on the horses so they could show expressions better.]
Several times, Spirit rolls his eyes, but horses can only move their eyes left-to-right, not up and down. [This is a true statement; however, if you listen to the directors' commentary with the movie, they tell you the reason for the eye rolls and eyebrows is to pesonify the characters to express emotions so that humans can understand, if the movie was in factual "equus talk," it would not make sense at all.]
In the scene where young Spirit had got his tongue stuck to an icicle the shot pans right, you hear him break the icicle and he moves back into the shot carrying a significantly smaller and thinner icicle. [When Spirit turns his head, we see the real lenth of the icicle.]
